Dammit…!
I’m Not hating on Medlen but I don’t Think Medlen will do well going against this offense…I think he will let the Jitters of going against the Yankee offense get to him
I know I would…

Is there really a reason not to at least let KK warm up? Then decide?
I know it could be serious, but no reason not to let him try.
J williams

Hope KK is ok. I don’t know if Medlen’s ready for this type of pressure. Remember his first two starts.
RHR

Did y’all really see him spitting out blood? I was too mad to look. Damn Damn Damn.
Alright top of lineup do your thang.

I don’t know how much “pressure” there will be on Medlen. I mean, have you been paying attention to the Yankees offense as of late?
Mitchell

Yeah right Mixxo, Medlen’s going to kick their @$$es.
I can’t believe that. What a punk.
RHR

I know it’s not on paper, Jim, but in Medlen’s 22 year old head I’m sure it is.

Doc, they already pinch hit for him. He’s done for the day.

Why is everyone so negative on Medlen without even giving him a chance? Let him pitch an inning at least, for God’s sake
Mitchell

By the way Mixxo, I wasn’t calling you a punk. I was referring of course to that douche Chambermaid.
Oh, I burned him. No really I did.

Vinings Jim

RHR – maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but I have faith – he needs to show Bobby he should be pitching a whole lot more.

Who says Medlen can’t handle pressure. That was his 1st start. He was excellent in his 3rd start and in an extra inning game against the Pirates. If anything he might suck because Bobby hasn’t pitched him in a year…
J williams

Sometimes the pressure is imagined, and not actually real.

Bravesman,
Try spectralmedia.org for cricket. They provide mms links at very cheap rates.
Afridi was the man of the tournament. Also glad that younis khan has retired from T20. I am sick of people dissing T20.
RHR

The key for Medlen is first of all, slow down, second of all, forget the faces and the names, don’t even look at them, just watch Mac and throw, and….Mac and Chipper need to get at him like they did before.
And the damn Braves fans need to get up and drown out those stupid chants.
I’m SO mad right now. Man what a tough break.

That was unnecessary harassment there from Suckliffe. Yunel had PLENTY of time and he just wanted to make sure he made a good throw.

KK didnt look like it killed him, you saw that Mcann asked him if he was OK and KK nodded.
RHR

I have faith too, Jim. I like Medlen a lot, he has a lot of potential, just wish he didn’t have to come in unexpectedly like that vs the Yankees. Plus, I’m mad and maybe a little bit irrational. lol

McCann definitely read the scouting report on Tex. He called for a curveball in the dirt and to Medlen’s credit, he hit his spot.
Good start for Medlen.
